InnoDB is a storage engine for MySQL relational databases, which is used by popular PHP-powered web applications like Joomla™ 3.x and Magento. It’s perfect for scalable applications, since it works astonishingly well when processing huge amounts of data. Rather than locking the whole database table to enter new information into a database as many other engines do, InnoDB locks only one database row, so it can execute a lot more operations for the same period of time. Additionally, InnoDB offers a much faster crash recovery and supports database transactions and foreign key constraints – rules that determine how data inserts and updates should be treated. In case a particular task has not been fully completed for any reason, the action will be rolled back. In this way, the database content will be preserved intact and won’t be partially mixed with new content.
